How To Assemble Chip Bag Wrapper
Supply List
- PAPER: Printed on 8.5" x 11" glossy photo paper or brochure paper (the gloss gives it that authentic snack bag shine).
- Adhesive: A double-sided tape runner or a permanent glue stick. Avoid liquid school glue as it can wrinkle the paper. If you use a glue stick, apply a little extra pressure and hold the seam for about 10 seconds
- Paper Crimper (Optional): This creates the "ridged" texture at the top and bottom for a factory-finish look.
- Filling: Pre-packaged 1oz snack bags (chips, popcorn, or pretzels).
Step 1: Prep & Fold
- Trim: If your printer leaves a white border, use your paper trimmer to remove the edges for a clean look.
- Crease: Place your wrapper face down. Gently fold the two side flaps toward the center, overlapping them slightly. Pro Tip: Use a ruler to help get a straight, crisp fold.
Step 2: Apply Adhesive
- Vertical Seal: Apply a strip of adhesive along the “Glue Here” edge. Press it firmly to create a "sleeve."
- Bottom Seal: Apply adhesive to the inside bottom edge of the sleeve and press it closed. You now have an open pouch
Step 3: Fill & Final Seal
- Stuff: Slide your pre-packaged chips or treats into the pouch.
- Close: Apply one final strip strip of adhesive to the top inside edge and press it shut.
- Finish (Optional): For a professional "crinkled" look, use a paper crimper on the top and bottom edges.
